Floyd Mayweather is back once again. He will appear in a lucrative open-weight boxing exhibition against Logan Paul on June 6. Given the open-weight rules, ‘The Maverick’, who will be heavier, may have the advantage. However, welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. backed ‘Money’.
He envisioned a lopsided win for the unbeaten star and opened up on how Floyd Mayweather relinquished his retirement to bag another big payday.
In a chat with Barbershop Conversations, Errol Spence Jr. said, “Floyd’s doing another money grab, s***. It is what it is. Floyd’s gonna eat him up, probably stop him. Floyd’s just doing what he always do man, putting his ski mask on and robbing y’all.”
